The New York Rangers are down, 3-2, and facing elimination in tonight's match up in Tampa Bay. But it's not the first time they have been in this situation.

The New York Rangers even the series with an exciting 4-3 win last night in Washington. When the Rangers lost game 4 and went down in the series, three games to one, many fans were giving up hope that they could stage a great comeback. Sort of like last year's second round playoff series against the Penguins.

The New York Rangers played nearly perfect hockey, but let one slip into the net in a 1-0 loss to the Capitals, last night in Washington.

Talk about the agony of defeat. While most Ranger fans were reaching for another beer and overtime, the Caps slid a shot past Henrik Lundqvist with less than 2 seconds left in regulation to steal home ice advantage with a 2-1 win.

It only took the 'Blue Shirts' 5 games to take down the Penguins, and advanced to the second round. I almost came right out of my chair when Carl Hagelin scored the winning goal, in a thrilling overtime win in front of the Garden crowd.

The New York Rangers outlasted the  Penguins last night, with a thrilling 2-1 overtime win in Pittsburgh! This win puts them just one game away from advancing to the next round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The New York Rangers have recaptured home ice advantage with a 2-1 victory in Pittsburgh last night.

I was a huge New York Rangers fan when I was a young boy. I would watch the games on a black and white television set we had in our upstairs hallway.

The Blue Shirts had a slip up in their 4-2 loss to the LA Kings, in the match-up for last year's Stanley Cup Finals, but they're still one of the top teams in the NHL. They are poised to make the playoffs with 10 games remaining and they are also anticipating the return of their leader and star goalie, Henrik Lundqvist.

New York's two elite hockey teams, and arch rivals, battled it out again last night in a fight for 1st place in the Metropolitan Division.
